("Goes up to about the middle of downtown. So, they're definitely going to be protecting a large area for themselves.") A STREET VENDOR, TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL .... AND THE RESTRICTIONS BEING PUT IN PLACE FOR NEXT YEAR'S ALL-STAR GAME. THE DETAILS ARE STARTING TO SURFACE TONIGHT. WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON IS LIVE AT THE BALL PARK TO SHOW US THE SCOPE OF THE LIMITS. JOHN. THIS WILL BE M-L-B CONTROLLED TURF FOR SIX DAYS NEXT JULY. MERCHANDISE VENDORS WON'T BE ALLOWED ALONG MOST OF THE RIVERFRONT... NOR ON 3RD STREET, 4TH, AROUND THE CONVENTION CENTER OR THE ARONOFF CENTER. THEY'RE OUT AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE PLATE. "Peanut Tom" will be in his 24th season as a Cincinnati street vendor when next summer's All-Star game hits. Tom Hagins, who traditionally sets up near the Joe Morgan statue, won't be allowed to peddle baseball caps as planned. Major League Baseball is umpire of the merchandise game. This letter of explanation was mailed to dozens of vendors today. Tom looked it over, along with the dimensions of the exclusionary area, and sighed. (Tom Hagins) ("Well, it's a pretty large map. It goes pretty far east and pretty far west.") Here it is. Whale-like in resemblance. A no-vendor zone at All-Star time. From beyond the Bengals practice field on the west... Past the Montgomery Inn Boathouse to the east... Including The Banks and much of downtown and excluding many of the merchandise men. (Tom Hagins - Street Vendor) ("Everybody wants to control the pie. Just give us our little slice, that's all we're looking for.") (Rocky Merz) ("We certainly realize not everybody is going to be happy. But, it's the other side of getting a big event like this.") City spokesman Rocky Merz says MLB is cooperating to minimize the impact. The city agreed in this letter three years ago to the requirement of a special zone. (Rocky Merz - City Administration Spokesman) ("We want to make sure they've got plenty of lead time. We're not even up to this year's game yet. We're thirteen months away.") The excluded area is smaller than this year's site, Minneapolis. And it's for six days, a shorter time period. Peanuts, hot dogs and water can be sold. But, as for the cap Hagins wears? ("No we would not.") Or the Reds t-shirt he has on? ("No we would not.") Between now and next week, an All-Star sized controversy churns. ("...the merchandise vendors would definitely like to be a part of this.") Scalpers, here comes the curve ball. Ticket sales within the designated area will also be prohibited. Hagins remembers how there were no limits for the last All- Star game here in '88. ("It's a multi-billion dollar business.") THIS LETTER SENT TO VENDORS TODAY SAYS THE CITY WILL HELP RELOCATE THEM TO OTHER AREAS DURING ALL-STAR WEEK. BUT, UNDERSTANDABLY THEY WANT TO BE WHERE THE ACTION IS... WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE NOW. LIVE AT GREAT AMERICAN BALL PARK, JOHN LONDON, WLWT NEWS FIVE. CITY LAWMAKERS WILL TAKE UP THE ISSUE IN COMMITTEE NEXT MONDAY... AND COULD HAVE FINAL ACTION READY AS SOON AS A WEEK FROM TOMORROW.
